Does burnt hair grow back?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

View allI've been using Minoxidil for four months now, following my dermatologist's advice, but I'm thinking about stopping it. I'm 21 years old and a bit concerned about what might happen if I do. What should I expect? Will there be any side effects or hair loss? Is it safe to just quit Minoxidil after this period?
Ask dermatologist for wheaning off ,do not stop it abruptly

So I've been dealing with these pimple-like small bumps on my nose for about 4 years now and they're not like regular pimples since they don't hurt and never seem to disappear. Sometimes I get other pimples on my cheeks and nose but those usually clear up within a month or so. These other bumps are a different story - they're skin-colored, small, and seem more like cysts because they just won't go away no matter what facewash or scrub I try. My skin is pretty clear otherwise, but these tiny bumps are really bothering me. How can I get rid of them?
To help reduce the appearance of these bumps, you can try using a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel, applying a thin layer to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a salicylic acid cleanser, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, can help to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Remember to moisturize your skin regularly and use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If these bumps persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
